down the videos more advice to them it's free it's free go go get it portable t.v. . hello and welcome sir that interview. earlier today on the show will talk about the tokyo summer olympics which were postponed from 20 to 20 but are happening this summer however not everyone is so excited about them our very own anders li sits down with no olympics organizer gigi drove to discuss why we should imagine the world without the olympics then i discuss how workers won a lawsuit against who were in the u.k. and the fake were shortage that's happening in the us then correspondent natalie

mcgill breaks down recent changes to digital privacy laws but 1st here is anders li and she have no lympics g.g. thanks for joining us. it's great to be here yeah so now a lot of people are watching this they're probably thinking like hey i'm against gentrification i'm against militarism but the olympics like there's so much bad stuff happening in the world right now what is the problem with the olympics what's wrong little fun and games in why should it matter to people. well one of the biggest issues with the olympics is that. it is really the clearest example of the interconnected ways that capitalism and you know liberalism affect the cities around the globe that. so when the olympics i'm due a city. commission that brings us placement. bring the military station of the police the criminalization of homelessness and poverty ecological distress destruction and government option really all of the biggest issues in the world

capitalism bring our i implied by the olympics the people who benefit from the games are usually the wealthy and real states of 1st police elected officials media companies and they think this is and every day people in a city. who are on house and in sex workers and there's even the athletes themselves are not benefiting from these matter how much fun they see on t.v. right and you mentioned tokyo of course that's that's where the olympics was going to be in 2020 i guess some would argue the 2020 is still happening to us so it's always not a postponement but it is going to be happening this summer you're in l.a. what coordination has no olympics l.a. had with activists tokyo and what are some of the effects that planning and preparing for the olympics there has already had on japan. so one of the really exciting things that we did in the summer of 2019 was no one picks the organizing

group part of. we were at a transnational insulin pic summit in tokyo tri night which was a really cool international solidarity event. and sealant that organizers and and it's from around the world we had from tokyo who were hosting there were terrorists and of course from l.a. i think even well hong kong there were some who came and there were no i don't they didn't send anyone but that is a message of solidarity and support. so one of the really important things about knowing that is actually one of our slogans is no one takes anywhere because everywhere that these things happen not just in america or tokyo or. everywhere that these things happen a brain. he said and they just place on house. and homes

and it's here and there. they're celebrating the spread of co but there's a campaign right now in washington foolish called hotel homes not hotels a sort of an insight your view the campaign one of the ways that air b.n. b. is already preparing for l.a. 20 eight's the 2028 games and how does how is this campaign against the olympics how does it intersect with that. so something that a lot of people don't know about air b.n. b. they are a partner with your contacts which is already. you know a huge red flag but our homes not hotels campaign was formed because it's real estate developers and this leaves. a hotel shortage for tourists and one l e n l a 21 happened and they are seeking to dress this alleged shortage by and

its properties. and transforming the hotels for luxury condos there's actually this is the l.a. 20 games are going to be no billable impacts as they're not buildings which technically isn't near the so far stadium was built partially because of the olympics it's likely this has been happening in places like inglewood where the so feisty game is where there are no rent control laws and if you are familiar with inglewood it's a it's predominantly black and brown community and a lot of the other communities in los angeles that are affected are also black. there places like it or for decades and they're being driven out because of. your mare or in l.a. eric are steady has been a big proponent of the l.a. 28 games but what what is his record bench so far on these issues of housing and policing infrastructure and how far back has she been pushing something like this

at the expense of the people of boston and. well he's actually been pushing for the olympics since the very beginning the 1st thing he ever did the 2nd he was mayor was he wrote a letter to the i.o.c. it's like he's thinking here there's been problems with ghoulishness. in los angeles ever since he started. they. even the own place of business vanity project this is what he's been focusing on instead of getting house. or any of the he's asking for is trying to do he was sort of trying to do what they probably need to but he likes it evenings and it means that as a jumping port city and. president or whatever. and it's actually pretty obvious that he doesn't really care about anything in los angeles. he doesn't even care about the olympics in los angeles in

a weird way he really just cares about. his own power 2017 for example when multics was founded that one out of 3 days out of town campaigning for the olympics and themselves while ignoring growing human rights. poverty and housing in los angeles he's also claimed the homelessness will not exist by 2020. and if that's true it'll. be in this project as a form of elimination co-wrote the new only poverty. though it's it's just really. yeah it's obvious that he wants to highlight problem and not actually just want to look like. which is really what the olympics always do that every city that they. will. in the 1984 games actually very specifically. somebody suggested and city council but recently everybody

was on house out like a farm like outside of los as i think they call them. which is really gross i mean well we're living on the street you know. you don't just if them out so farm that's don't even do that with dogs like. yeah yeah like as you mentioned the l.a. did hold the olympics in 1984 and it seems like there's a bit of a different recollection from someone like eric garcetti it was a kid at the time and a father and in law enforcement city government and probably most people especially poor black and brown people in los angeles what what was that discrepancy like now almost 30 years ago over 30 years. so one guy study in his friend casey wasserman. the head of the l.a.

organizing he. also was on that's. when the 2 of them are. there's a lot of epstein connections here to win and that's you know they were together and talking about the olympics they talk about like oh like is frankie's last year was in the torch relay and curse that he talks about how much fun he had going to the olympics but that's not the experience of most in leno's we were there at the time the most for a lot of black and brown people especially. leasing. ins which basically meant if you and your friends were hanging out outside that meant working and you were arrested it was put on your record run again so just this increased police think. that that over the city and. really cracked down on people's rights going out and if so was are running out here i definitely want to this is now 7 years away usually you know the committee does not plan this far in

advance so so what are the odds if the olympics is organized enough the people watching it will soar organized enough that the games could be called off number one and number 2 if there's someone watching i'm sure a lot of people are who are thinking like i don't like social injustice but i do like sports so what are some alternatives that we've seen throughout history to international athletic competition that doesn't involve displacing people in you know militarized police should just take me a huge toll on the environment. i think it is possible to cancel the olympics i think. what we need is we need people to know that it's a problem and you. you know really make a show that we're not going to allow the olympics here we go as a people come together and stand up against you know police meet the basically make this this nitty and hospitable to the olympics the olympics making

this that and hospitable. so if we can come together and los angeles a place that can hold the olympics then you can happen here. and you know one of the things that i know and a lot of people talk about was warts and wanting to continue to watch i love watching gymnastics. and you know one of the best places the wash of. the olympics but also like. you don't need the i.o.c. watched courts and what makes courts great our values like to hark cooperation and solidarity and. are in direct opposition to feel the effects which are very nationalistic. like all church competitive and don't value life working together and work and. you know we don't need we don't need to i don't like.

it who have sports washing out there actually in the early 20th century there were worker owned on consumer vents that celebrated what was great about sports. and they didn't just they didn't. they were just promoting capitalism they were you know going off like this is well that oh well these things work together like this and it's possible to have sports values justice but that you have to follow it you polish the olympics his i.o.c. is not why do you the reform. you know what it's for the olympics are not about sports they were never really about like amateurs or anything like that. and you know i mean it's not even really fair to the athletes something that we hear a lot are people you know but these athletes are lives well that's it can't be me

as a mule and experienced amateurism so they have to figure out their ways to pay for themselves or if you're if you're not wealthy then you just you know and that's you know we want to we want to welcome everybody those words i want to just pull. well so how can people at whatever otherwise get involved. well you can follow him picks l.a. on any list also new knows where on twitter or on instagram you can go to our website olympics. we're also. live in los angeles any. he's on your street or in your neighborhood go to milliamp excel a dot com slash offs and art lets you. share information that you have about any arab in your neighborhood we're trying to organize and it's against your being. and get me out of our city. and if you

are in los angeles or you are in a long fix that it's something you can do is just. local to me and or it's like leasing groups in your city. really strong resistance so that when the olympics try and come to your city. they won't be able to because you have organized tennis and. polished your police force and the olympics are not like that . you know involve your community or did you draw thanks so much for joining us thank you for having me on we have to go to a quick break but don't forget to grab every episode for free a portable docky we'll be right back with a lot more. our

greed our greed i turn on the t.v. on about the world and what's happening around me i see shows on the screens but in last every day because the big news narratives that a state things seem to maybe cooling seems luck lately been uplifted with farm after barbara the fabric of globalism make it sound how plenty off that in this war but i found a network that open question science great sadness a civil strife climate change savile would think cool simply lists all the mainstream wants to do was keep us cool like you watch those right you can't keep

a silence critical points these cold perspective questions inside directly if we don't take sides we walk the walk artsy america means real talk. an ocean of stories even the news worth knowing can overwhelm you. you could even your way i know you want it all so let me bring you the best. it's easy just. play. welcome back i'm naming caravan me and now for the weekly offensive. over a popular app designed to connect a corporate board to labor laws it wants to got met with some opposition in british

courts the u.k. supreme court ruled that must classify its drivers as employees guarantee a minimum wage grant paid vacation and make them eligible for a pension plan to which the company would contribute are you sure that's a supreme court a supreme court as i know it is supposed to give companies like exxon the ability to replace your water with formaldehyde or make it mandatory to celebrate the koch brothers birthdays even long after they're dead this is a victory for drivers in the u.k. took about 6 years of battling goober and poor and now the company says that there are only paying out benefits to the $35.00 drivers who are part of the lawsuit and not all the drivers so the fights going to continue but it doesn't look good for trooper. at least we know that some people on a burst payroll are being fairly compensated like lawyers and politicians and lobbyists who were in with pacs spend millions of dollars on down ballot democratic

candidates in the 2020 alexion cycle you know what we said pay more and burleson and those candidates will help ensure that laws are written and interpreted in favor of hoover so that will be never recognized as a taxi business but simply a way to connect driving entrepreneurs to their writing clientele and not a way to attract workers and roll it to serfdom over didn't do however was leave the u.k.'s faith friends this is a tactic they used over and over we were threatened to leave regions that tyrolese from california and from austria in an attempt to blackmail regulators into submission threatening to leave the this is a way of negotiating this this and that is designated driver there i would hate for something to happen to it. i guess we'll have to drive drunk from now on but these are him the threats to have a capital strike that they would never follow through on not making money i don't

think so and move on to threatens the capital strike by single leave areas where workers ask for more yet amazon has unionized workers in germany and still operates there when we need to do is call these corporations on their bluff and say hey you're full of you're not going to leave or shut down you're just going to pay your c.e.o. $1000000000.00 less and he'll have one less boat or one less secret family or one fewer shuttle to mars for secret family another capital strike is actually happening businesses and particularly restaurants are complaining that they can't find workers claiming there's a labor shortage but it looks like those are just complaining that the media is running with without question. whatever mcdonald's says must be true because this is after all the american pope here's a sign next to the drive thru we are short staffed please be patient with the staff

that did show up no one wants to work anymore don't you think that's a little aggressive for customers who just came for an egg mcmuffin got their meal without asking for it super son of bitch. and no one wants to work anymore there's still a pandemic going on and only 50 percent of people are vaccinated and over 50 percent of women left the workforce to take care of children that have no school also an economist at e.p.i. pointed out that when restaurant owners can't find workers to fill openings at wages that aren't higher than they were before the pandemic even though those jobs are inherently more stressful and potentially dangerous that's not a labor shortage that's the market functioning the wages for harder riskier jobs should be higher where we don't see is wages moving at all so that's a wage shortage not a worker shortage we've seen shortages of toilet paper chicken wings and my group

chips but there is no shortage of jobs that people don't want i mean where are all the passionate people who want to wrestle a non mass person to the ground so they can enter a wendy's or where all the passion of people who love shoveling this out of an arby's bathroom companies will do anything to raise wages now some are providing signing bonuses or $50.00 to interview a free sandwich each shift and a blow job from ronald mcdonald personally if you come in with your c.v. already printed out anything as long as they're not raising wages for glorified business lobby which parades as a legitimate government agency the u.s. chamber of commerce blamed the weak jobs report on the enhanced unemployment benefits and kicks off a lobbying effort and the benefits cutting benefits will only cause of people can't work right now to suffer more and studies have shown that the benefits have little

impact on whether or not people will seek work. they're seeking better work right now the fact is that fast food establishments have always cried labor shortage even before the pandemic as you can see in this $29.00 article in fact the wages were always so low at places like mcdonalds that wages were effectively subsidized through food stamps and medicaid so workers don't starve no one wants to work anymore al about no one wants to pay their workers anymore. or i guess never did see if your state recently passed a data privacy rights law there's a good chance it will keep your info about as private as bill and melinda gates divorce proceedings and bill is partly to blame redacted correspondent natalie mcgill has more in a new segment our not so private if you live in california there's a lot to be anxious about right now wildfires thousands in security and

a celebrity running for governor who you can't convince me isn't doing it just to give the network another car dash spin off but one thing californians should actually feel good about is their vote last fall to approve the california privacy rights act which builds on the existing california consumer privacy act and as of 2023 it will allow californians the chance to opt out of sharing personal data that could be sold as well as the chance to correct their data and sue companies over data breaches added states that businesses must pacifically and clearly inform consumers about how they collect and use personal information and how they can exercise their rights and choice it's the closest thing we have in america to the european union's general data protection regulation which offers similar protections. but it turns out the only european thing our society prefers the company is its beauty standards not its privacy laws because big tech didn't like

the precedent california was trying to set and decided to set its oh so now big tech is pushing states to pass privacy laws and yes you should be suspicious of course why would you already be suspicious of companies who left the door wide open for cambridge and a little good to scrape all your data or trying to gaslight a house rep into believing their delivery drivers never pissed in bottles during their shift only to have to walk it back and say they are bad they actually do piss in bottles you can never gaslight me into thinking that didn't happen especially after the day i went looking for a copy of the amazon owned washington post only to soon realize i found the gift of and amazon workers protest the pistons that. i can still remember. the warm home i've got i can still feel it in my hands. so what other states tried

to create their own privacy laws swarms of tech lobbyist descended upon state houses like they were melinda gates d.m. in march virginia governor ralph northam signed off on his state's consumer data protection act a law that was actually written by an amazon lobbyist and a digital rights group called the electronic frontier foundation said this group is over consumers by offering an opt out framework that doesn't protect privacy by default allowing companies to force consumers that exercise their privacy rights to pay higher prices or accept a lower quality of service and offering no meaningful and for spent and unfortunately according to the market $14.00 of 20 proposed states. privacy bills were built upon the same industry backed framework as virginia's or weaker i get

why these companies are so desperate to water down these bills when you're used to just getting your way with little to 0 consequences for your actions disorienting when people all of a sudden start asking for accountability i mean how do you think jovan feels right now. so that we're creating a patchwork of laws with the words consumer and privacy in the name that actually do nothing to help consumers or protect their privacy yet tech companies actually don't want this patchwork of state laws may ultimately want a federal law with all the same goodies that would undermine or even override california's law so in short they want to have their cake and eat it too. and considering the news that bill gates allegedly had to deal with his wife to run off with his ex-girlfriend once a year he might know a thing or 2 about eating cake with powerful lobbying from microsoft amazon google

and the like in these state lawmakers years this big tax steamrolling will only continue which is a shame because there's no reason other than greed that opting out of having our data harvested should be as easy as it is for us to opt out of hearing a t.v. theme song in a streaming service by clicking skip intro. even though there should be a law against skipping intros for the following shows. honestly skipping any of those should at least be punishable by fine. reporting from a private california beach this is natalie for redacted tonight. and that is the show but we have a new redact it's night tomorrow so watch out for that make sure you're also subscribe to our you tube channel at youtube dot com for dr tonight until next time goodnight and keep fighting.

i'm holland cook i invite you to climb with me above the main stream media wire and from that higher fan to each to glimpse the big picture question more. something for you your sports speech do you. 'd think the average viewer just after watching a couple of segments understands that we're telling stories there are critics can't

tell me you know why because their advertisers want let them. in order to create change you have to be honest you have to tell the truth arts he's able to do that every story is built on going after the back story to what's really happening out there to the american folk what's happening when a corporation makes a pharmaceutical chills people when a company in the environmental business ends up polluting a river that causes chancer and other illnesses they put all the health risk all the dangers out to the american public those are stories that we tell every we can you know what they're working. guys and i made a professional powerpoint to show you how artsy america fits into the greater media landscape is not laughter all right but we are a solid alternative to the. liberal or conservative and as you can. as margret we don't skew the facts either talking head lefties talking at righties oh there you

go above it all so look out we're all artsy americans in the spotlight now and greatly admired have no idea how to classify and it actually took me way more time than i care to admit. this is a boom bust the one business show you can't afford to miss some branch of war in washington coming up hundreds of millions of dollars were wiped out of the cryptocurrency market after a major announcement from tesla c.e.o. elon musk will break down what happened close to colonial pipeline restarted operations after last week's ransomware attack and now the white house has his issued an executive order to prevent future cybersecurity mishaps and later actually do use are up after 3 days of losses in the u.s. releases more debt on inflation will begin to.
